The Free Press says that F. G.. Fletcher
of Burlington, who recently returned
from visit to Sioux City, Iowa, brought
with him two of the pixies procured by
John Brown to arm the negroes in his
famous raid. John Brown had a thousand
of these made in Connecticut, and stored
them at Harper's Ferry, where they were
taken by the United States troops, and it
would seem were subsequently shipped
to the frontier. They have been lying in
a government storehouse at Sioux City,
and were recently sold with other useless
army material. The blades of these pixies
are long and slender like bayonet, and
in hand to hand fighting would make for
midable weapons.
